Vitalic by Juan David Vargas Ramírez

Vitalic.jpg Vitalic is a unique multipurpose furniture piece designed by Juan David Vargas Ramírez. Although a concept, this design with its many features has appealed to me a great deal. An outdoor furniture piece, it is a three-seater bench with a unique removable centerpiece that looks like a bucket. Since no information is available we can only guess the many uses of this unique furniture design concept. The bucket in the center can be used to plant a small tree around which you can sit or you can even fix an umbrella. What is more, little children can even fill the bucket with their toys and other belongings as they sit on the bench.

Parallel World project is for the folks who loathe perfection

Parallel-World-project.jpg Here’s an interesting design concept by Dzimitry Samal called Parallel Worlds, inspired by the concept of parallel worlds existing in our universe. The collection consists of various elements like bookshelf, lamp etc, that are attached haphazardly to the walls using an anchoring system. The objects’ hidden parts (the parts in the wall) are somewhere in the parallel world that we do not see. But I have a different take on this concept; to me it looks like a collection of elements that would appeal to the perfect imperfectionist. Like a guy who doesn’t like the mess in his room to be sorted by anyone. If you want to take a closer look, be there in Milan from April 14th-April 19th where the project will be launched in Milan Design Week.

The set is comprised of a table, chair and a dustbin, all featuring asymmetrical lines running into each other cordially. The Parametric design would sit perfectly and comfortably in a posh office of an architect or a high-end MNC that makes loads of money.

Vespa chair upcycled from Piaggio skooter drives you crazy

Vespa-chair.jpg We all love skooters because they are so 80’s and we feel nostalgic having grown up in them and with them. Although, it would be quite embarrassing to ride one at this point in time, I wouldn’t mind meandering in it when no one’s looking. Spanish design studio bel&bel has designed the Vespa seat which is made of original pieces hauled out of the famous Piaggio scooter. They have used only the front shield of the scooter and turned it into a limited edition rotating chair. The cushion is upholstered in leather and the seat has a strong internal structure and hydraulic piston for height regulation. Having one of these guys in the living room would be real fun for me and my visitors!

Birdhouse built out of a plant pot

Birdhouse.jpg Eco-sensitivity is something which everybody must possess. It could mean something as simple as converting and reusing products, which could contribute to efficient waste management, saving our planet from piling up more dirt every year. Designer Paul Clark of UK has built a birdhouse out of plant pot as a part of a waste aware project, which involves taking a waste product and giving it a new use. He chose plant pot as his object of creativity because there are millions of them which contribute to landfill every year.

Transformable Stretcher works as a warning sign too!

Transformable-Stetcher .jpg Construction sites, roads and hazardous locations require safety boards which read, “Danger”, which always gets overrun. But even in that case, the law should have provisions to protect its defaulters (just to show that it still cares, just as god cares for all its subjects) Here’s a brilliant design concept which upholds and executes the above-mentioned theory. It’s a Warning sign that doubles as a Transformable stretcher to swiftly transform the victims out of the danger zone. The signboard is composed of a tough, durable fabric that becomes the stretcher bed and the lightweight legs of the frame become the stretcher frame.

Production of the table will cease when the shape is no longer practical.

Shair: A stack of chairs for a fair!

Shair.jpg We’ve seen many lounge chairs that are huge, bulky and comfortable, minus multi-functionality. And there are some lounge chairs that entertain us, but don’t really serve the purpose for which god sent them to us. Designer Jie-Jyun-Lyu has something in store for the space-conscious individuals who swear their life by multi-functionality. He has designed a huge cushion chair that works as a lounge chair as well as shoot-off chairs just when the time is right-i.e. you are expecting some guests at home. The big ‘Voltron’ chair is called ‘Shair’ and it accommodates about 8 comfortable cushions as basic seating arrangement. When all the cushions are taken out of the frame, it acts as a rack to hang coats, hats and all that your guests intend to hang!

Boxetti furniture encompasses bed and storage space in a box

Boxetti_furniture_1.jpg
I always liked concealed, fold-down wall concepts and one of the most recent entrants in this sphere is Boxetti, who I must say have done justice to the work of storage spaces. Since space is the most major issue these days, Boxetti has integrated surrounding storage spaces such as drawers, cabinets and closet areas with the bed into a small, self contained box. So one could easily fold down a double bed, a night stand and a wardrobe, all from the same side. The entire unit can be operated either manually or via remote control. The unit also comes in with an ambience adding light fixture for mood lighting or reading at night. The whole idea of box furniture is apt for those with a small studio apartment or meager space.
